Medium speed 300's fly pretty fast, with more of a parabolic/projectile motion compared to a parachuting motion of a feather (i.e. diagonally up and then near vertical downward motion).

The 370's flight is quite close to a feather, but I've only used the medium speed ones, so can't comment on the slow speed.

Durability wise, the 370 edges it. The 300 skirts can get deformed quite easily, resulting in a spinning shuttle. However, the 300s can still last around 2-4 games of mens doubles before the skirt starts tearing. the 370's probably last around a game more as a minimum.

i think mavis 300 and 500 are most durable
the 350 and 370 are must less durable

in order
500, 300
370
350

that's why yonex sells more mavis 300

We only get the 300's and 370's in the UK, but from playing with them, personal opinion is that the 370 are slightly more durable skirt-wise, but think the corks are about the same. Maybe different batches give different durability ? Anyone else have any thoughts?

I think the reason why yonex sells more Mavis 300's is because it's good value for money(a.k.a. cheap and cheerful ) and widely available, even in chain stores?

Yep certainly, although not as much of a problem in QC with Yonex Plastic Shuttles as Carlton Shuttles.

Per dozen 300's (or 370's) we tend to throw 8 or 9 in the bin due to skirts splitting and 3 or 4 away due to head seperation. Still a couple of dozen Mavis tend to last about 60 playing hours where in a competition your looking at a Dozen Feathers in 4 hours.
